Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 590 Too much forgetfulness?

Without letting Gu Xun wait for too long, the Tianzong disciple who went up to report came back, and with him came an old man with half-white hair who looked quite immortal.

Gu Xun can be sure that this is not Chi Songzi, the leader of Tianzong at this time, because his strength is too weak, but he is much stronger than the disciples of Shoushan. Maybe he is an elder or something.

After seeing Gu Xun, the old man stepped forward and introduced himself:
  "I, Xu Yanzi, am an elder of Tianzong and have met the national master."

Different from the two disciples guarding the mountain, this Tianzong elder named Xuyanzi has a much kinder attitude, but he has basically no concept of etiquette in his behavior. He only verbally addressed Gu Xun with respect, but as for his actions... he just clicked. nodded.

Obviously everyone in this sect has this kind of virtue. Naturally, Gu Xun would not argue with others about so-called etiquette issues. He said bluntly:
  "Elder Xu Yanzi, right? You should know Gu's purpose of coming here, so... what should I say?"

"Uncle Beimingzi has been in seclusion for a long time and is not interested in worldly affairs. I have no right to make the decision on this matter. Please follow me up the mountain to see the head of Chisongzi." Xu Yanzi answered calmly with a faint smile. road.

Although Xuyanzi's attitude is not exactly enthusiastic, it is much stronger than the Shoushan disciples. At least others will not be evil because of it... but his actions are a bit too straightforward.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned back and walked up the mountain without waiting for Gu Xun's answer. Gu Xun, of course, had nothing to say. He shrugged, silently expressed his feelings about the way the Tianzong disciples did things, and then followed him. .

Along the way, Gu Xun didn't see many Taoist disciples, but only met a few here and there.

When these Taoist disciples saw the elder Xu Yanzi, most of them just greeted the elder without even saying hello.

There are not many buildings in Tianzong. They are all simple grass and wood houses with almost no bricks or stones.

Generally speaking, Tianzong's headquarters is the simplest one among the hundreds of Zhuzi headquarters that Gu Xun has visited. The only thing worthy of praise is that the natural environment is good, it is very quiet and secluded, and there are a lot of idle open spaces. It is a training Xin Xing, a good place to meditate and practice.

However, Gu Xun could clearly sense that Tianzong followed an elite route, with a small number of disciples, but each one was relatively strong, stronger than most of the Mohist disciples in the city.

I don’t know if Renzong is like this too.

Not long after, Xu Yanzi took Gu Xun to the destination, the Tianzong's meeting hall - no matter how quiet and inactive, there are still sect affairs to be dealt with, otherwise there would be no status of leader, elder, disciple, etc. It is divided, and this meeting hall is the place where the head of the Tianzong and the elders discuss the sect's affairs, and it also serves as a reception room for receiving guests.

"National Master, the master brother is inside, please help yourself." After Xu Yanzi said his last words, he left directly, leaving Gu Xun standing alone at the door of the meeting hall.

Gu Xun looked at his leaving figure and couldn't help but shake his head, and once again silently lamented the behavior of the people of Tianzong.

By the way, will the six Tianzong elders that Xiaomeng defeated when he was eight years old in the future all be like Xu Yanzi?
  That’s too outrageous, right?
  According to Gu Xun's rough judgment, Xu Yanzi's strength is at least close to the top level. Six people with his strength - who are still practicing the same skills and can form a formation almost 80% of the time - are facing the peak of the The Six-Fingered Black Man cannot be solved in a short while.

Then this kind of master was easily defeated by the eight-year-old Xiaomeng... If you calculate it this way, Xiaomeng has been in seclusion for ten years, and as a result, her strength has increased negatively!

This is obviously impossible, so... let it go to sea, right?
  Gu Xun was a little confused about Bai Zong's thoughts. Was it just for a gimmick? Or are there other deeper reasons?

Shaking his head to get rid of unnecessary distractions, Gu Xun stepped into the meeting hall. In fact, the door of this house is not closed. Even if you don't specifically look around from the outside, you can vaguely see the figure sitting in the deepest part.

After Gu Xun entered, the figure of Tianzong leader Chi Songzi was completely reflected in his eyes.

He looked ordinary, an old man who was at least sixty or seventy years old. His beard and hair were all white, and he wore a high crown with neatly tied hair. His most distinctive feature was the two white eyebrows that hung down to his chin. Wearing a blue and white Taoist robe that is not luxurious but not simple either, what is special is that there are a few ribbons on the back of the head, or something else, anyway, it forms an arc, surrounding Chi Songzi's head. The back of the head.

There are no seats in the room, only foldable seats. Chisongzi is sitting in the deepest position at the top. However, unlike the people Gu Xun has interacted with in the past, he is sitting cross-legged instead of kneeling, with his legs curled up and placed on his back. He is wearing a sword with a strange shape, a round handle and a round body. This is the famous Taoist sword Xueji, which has always been fought over by the two sects of heaven and man.

By the way, Xiangjian Master Feng Huzi recently seems to be planning to create a sword manual, collecting famous swords from all over the world and ranking them on it. It is not only a list of swords, but also a list of people. Xue Ji is considered to be on the list, and there is a high probability that he will be in the top ten. One of the most popular swords.

This sword has always been regarded as a token of the Taoist leader. Until the split between heaven and man, both sects naturally wanted this sword, so they held a sword debate between heaven and man every five years, and it was agreed that the winner would be in charge. Snow Ji.

Gu Xun didn't quite understand the behavior of the two sects competing for Xue Ji.

If it is to occupy the great righteousness and promote oneself as a Taoist orthodoxy, it feels unnecessary. As far as Gu Xun understands, people in the world don't care who holds Xue Ji at all, or who wins in the sword debate between heaven and man. For them, It was just a matter of conversation after dinner, and few people would think that the Human Sect was inferior to the Tian Sect, or that the Tian Sect was inferior to the Human Sect.

No matter which sect, it can crush 99% of the power organizations in the world. Even among the other sects among hundreds of schools of thought, only a handful can compare to the split Taoist school.

If it has nothing to do with the outside world and is just a simple relationship between heaven and man to prove that they are on the right path, it would be a bit too childish.

In the world of martial arts, it is the last word to have a big fist, but as a Taoist, talking about Taoism is also purely about fighting power... I always feel that the board of my coffin is not very stable.

When Gu Xun was thinking wildly, Chi Songzi spoke first, "Little friend Gu, please sit down."

There was a faint smile in his voice, which seemed very gentle, and he did not address Gu Xun as a national master. His attitude seemed to be friendlier than that of Xu Yanzi.

Hearing this, Gu Xun also hugged his fist politely, "I have met the leader of Chisongzi."

After exchanging pleasantries, he sat on the couch beside him.

The two of them looked at each other, their eyes meeting in mid-air.

Gu Xun could clearly feel that although Chisongzi's eyes were calm, they were full of sincere kindness. The overall feeling was more humane than the previous indifferent disciple Shoushan and Xuyanzi who maintained false goodwill.

Is it possible that the weaker the strength of Tianzong's people, the colder and more ruthless their temperament?
  Is this too supreme and forgetful?
  Gu Xun couldn't help but have such a question pop up in his mind.

　Feng Huzi was a Xiangjian master in the Spring and Autumn Period, so I mentioned him when I wrote about Gongbujian, but in the world of Qin Dynasty, he obviously lived in the last years of the Warring States Period.
